Turkish coffee is crazy strong, a real hit if you want it in the morning.

Have to try some Turkish coffee some time. Given the information, no wonder Turkish Delights are so sweet - coffee + delights would balance out, probably.

turkish coffee is great, i add mint and cardamom, thats how most places do its but not a must

Finally bought a french press . Trust me, it's nothing fancy, but I am very satisfied with it. It's a nice little bodum I picked up from Target and I am currently experimenting with a few coffee flavors.

So they have upgraded their coffee from weak ass shit to regular ass shit?

Speaking of shots of coffee, it's pretty funny over here in cafes that coffee size and number of shots have nothing to do with each other. The difference between regular and large is that large has more milk or water. I use to order regular sized coffees with 3 shots in the mornings on the way to the office - same price as 1 shot reg and cheaper than 1 shot large.

In an anecdotal survey of the owners of a dozen of my favorite coffee spots in New York, shops with gifted baristas and finely tuned machines, most report that straight espresso accounts for maybe 5 percent of the coffees they sell.
